Porirua’s young voices are set to be heard on air following the official launch of the Porirua Voices Youth Podcast at Pātaka.
The launch event included an official welcome from Dr Taku Parai and featured podcast presentations from local students.
The podcast project has been produced with support from Amy, Brigid and Jonny from Wellington Access Radio 106.1FM and Immigration Time.
